A movie that I would starve for one day to watch. Hachiko: A Dog's Story. Not that I really starved but it is one of the movies that I really would want to watch. It was last year when I first saw the trailer and learned of it in OneUtama. Then? I wished I have a copy of it or at least catch it in the cinema. Last night, after I finished my physics report, my assignment and half of the Chemistry report, I know I have made enough sacrifices to enjoy the luxury of watching it.

Although I am pretty sure about the story line and how things evolves around the dog and the master, I was still moved so badly that I shed tears. There were some scenes where I never did expect and some which really triggered my tear glands. The story line might be simple, people might not be so handsome, but the amount of emotions and values introduced was beyond my bearable range.

Then I thought of my dog. Each and every great moments, be it happy or bad, came through. I can recall many days with him. All those foolish moments of mine as a kid growing up. There was once that I had to give chase after he escaped from home. That was one thing I will never forget. The times where he sneaked into our house, the times where he did foolish stuffs, the times he made us mad, the times he was with us. Even though I did not have to chance to have him greet me with his never-failing friendliness every time I go home from college, I know, I really know that if he were here, he would always be there.

I am sorry I wasn't there when you died. I am sorry I did not care for you as much as I did when you were seriously ill. Did we give up on you at that time? I forgot. But as far as I remember, we tried our very best. But I still feel sorry. There were still times that I became so preoccupied with stuffs going on.

In memory of our dog.
